Is It Time For 2006 BMW 325i Suspension Service?

During the first few years you had your 2006 BMW 325i, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Maybe your 325i bounces, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2006 BMW 325i in for steering and suspension repairs. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll take a look at the front and rear end suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis parts, wheel hub bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission. If your BMW 325i’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Shock & Strut Replacements for Your BMW 325i

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2006 BMW 325i suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your 325i’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your BMW 325i shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your 325i’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2006 BMW 325i Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my BMW's suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my BMW 325i? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that the tires connect with the road how BMW intended.
  • Does my BMW 325i power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your 325i is low on power steering fluid, we can fill it per BMW's recommendations to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my BMW 325i bouncing so much? Excessive bouncing in your BMW 325i might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my 325i tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your 325i's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • How do I know if I have worn BMW 325i shocks? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your 325i feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your 325i travels over minor bumps.
